Why Appeal a Decision from the Swedish Migration Agency?
Appealing a rejection is not just an option—it is often the most important step to correct your case. The Swedish Migration Agency—the authority that should make the correct decision—sometimes makes mistakes. When that happens, it's high time to act and protect your rights. I will help you assess whether your appeal has a chance of success based on your unique situation—or whether another strategy, such as a request for reconsideration or an injunction against enforcement, is the better route to take.
How to Appeal with AdamLaw – Step by Step
1. Review of the Decision
Send us the decision from the Swedish Migration Agency (preferably along with any other relevant documents or a description of the circumstances).

Clear and Correct Appeal
Once we agree and have signed a power of attorney, we will begin gathering documents and information from you. We then draft an appeal that is clear, accurate, and explains what we are appealing, why we believe the decision is incorrect, and how we want it changed—in a manner that the Migration Court can understand.3. Formalities and Deadlines
It is crucial that the appeal is submitted correctly, to the right forum, and on time.

Common misstakes when appealing on your own
1. Each individuals is their own case - Missed chance to appeal
Yourself, any co-applicant partner, and each child—even if included in the same application - are treated as their own individual with their own respective appeal. A far too common mistake is that family members are left out of the appeal, because they where not clearly listed as plaintiff in the appeal document or otherwise invoked in the appeal process.
AdamLaw ensures that no one is left out, and that no one misses their opportunity to appeal due to a technicality!
2. Late submission - Missed deadline
Your deadline to appeal a negative decision is three weeks from you being served the rejection, thus from the date of you geting informed about the content of the decision.
But are the three weeks counted from the decision date, from when you received the rejection letter or counted another way?
If you do not file your appeal on time, you may lose your chance to have your decision changed! It is important to keep track of how you were served with the decision so you can calculate your final day to appeal correctly!
3. Failing to respond to the Migration Court's letter
If you do not respond when the Migration Court asks you to, e.g. clarify the grounds for your appeal or to submit a mentioned piece of evidence, you could risk to lose the entire appeal-process.
4. Pleading to the courts feelings instead of proving your point with evidence, law text and case-law
Of course your case is important, and its understandable if you are very frustrated or experience a high level of stress after receiving a negative decision from the Swedish Migration Agency, your life in Sweden is in the balance, and maybe you and your family will have to leave the life you built here! This makes many plaintiffs focus their appeal on explaining how the decision will affect them personally, how bad they are feeling or how much tax they have contributed with to the Swedish state.
Understandable of course, but not effective in the majority of the cases. The Migration Court is not tasked with approving residence permits based on the kindness in their hearts. Their profession entails reviewing a decision made by a Swedish authority, examining it against the law, against the matters as they are/where at the time of the decision and to take into account the legal arguments made by the parties in the case. Out of that review they rule on a decisions validity, generally either enforcing the decision or revoking it.
What you need is to focus on the facts, showing the court evidence as to why the decision is faulty, or present to them matters/case law/circumstance that shows a law or regulation should/should not apply in your situation.
Evidence, provable facts, laws and case law are key!
